In this episode, Greg points out that the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids, which warns us to be ready for Jesus' appearing, is followed immediately by the Parable of the Talents, which warns us of what we will experience at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Is this rapture-judgment order coincidental or intentional? Greg believes the latter. He proposes that Jesus' sudden appearing to retrieve His bride church (the Rapture) - because it is a divine decision rendered (or judgment) as to who is ready and who is not - is in a sense the first part, or preliminary phase of the Judgment Seat of Christ. Jesus' promise to bring rewards with Him at His appearing (Rev. 22:12) confirms that the Judgment Seat will indeed occur just after the church is taken to heaven. Are you ready?

In this episode, Greg explores three other New Testament passages in which Christ, as in His Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids, pointed out the possibility of spiritually unprepared Christians being left behind when He appears. He also addresses the question sometimes posed by Christians who dislike the concept of a partial rapture, "Does a Christian have to be perfect to be taken in the rapture?" The answer, of course, is no! But although we do not have to be sinlessly perfect for Christ to take us, we must be serious about our walk with God and, more precisely, about preparation for Jesus soon coming.

In this episode, Greg uses texts from the apostle John's Gospel and Apocalypse to identify and describe the "door" Jesus refers to in this crucial prophetic parable. Why is it important? Simply because this door is the designated portal through which "they that are ready" will pass to enter the great marriage in heaven. He also addresses the claims of some evangelical Bible teachers, based on 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12, that all professing Christians left behind at the Rapture cannot subsequently successfully prove and purify their faith in the trials of the Tribulation period, but will instead be eternally lost.
